Arnold Schwarzenegger in stable condition after heart surgery

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in stable condition after undergoing heart surgery in Los Angeles. The Austrian-American film star and Former California Governor, 70, had a scheduled procedure to replace a valve at Cedars-Sinai hospital on Thursday (March 29). Schwarzenegger is said to be recovering well and reportedly commented after waking from surgery: "I'm back." His spokesman, Daniel Ketchell, said that Schwarzenegger was "in good spirits". The original replacement pulmonic valve, which Schwarzenegger received in 1997, outlasted its life expectancy, so the Former California Governor chose to have valve replacement by catheter, spokesman Daniel Ketchell said in a statement on Twitter.
